At once precious and repellant, Aurel Schmidt's ongoing series of doll drawings tell a story about New York, the art world, and the hell of being a pretty young thing.
Not really. I started out with Super 8 film. I just wanted to make movies. In 1973, Merce Cunningham asked me to collaborate with him on video. In those early years, video and film weren't really considered part of the art world-I didn't have a real gallery until 1999.

Since graduating from CalArts in 1978, Jim Shaw has eluded aesthetic typecasting by experimenting with almost every art form: drawing, painting, playing in punk bands, working in the movies, collecting ephemera, and chronicling his dreams. Through it all, he has forged an artistic career examining America-its iconographies, religions, psycho-geographies, and utopias.
Famously concerned with the ways technology has affected human society, and the way human society has in turn used technology to reflect the ways it has changed, Jon Rafman has also explored the sublime, the uncanny, the ingenuity of human creativity, and the changing role of the artist. Presenting a new body of work generated with AI, here he reflects on building virtual worlds for the viewer to get lost within.
After decades spent making art, Mark Flood has remained true to who he was in the 90s, as he continues to probe the basic precepts and structures of the art world.
